This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in safety means for carrying blasting caps.

5 The principal object of the present invention is to provide a carrier for caps wherein the caps are safely held against shock and accidental displacement.

Other important objects and advantages of the m invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of the container.

Figure 2 represents an enlarged vertical or longitudinal sectional view of the container.

Figure 3 represents across sectional view taken substantially on line 33 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals 2o designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents an elongated cylindrical block of resilient rubber having a plurality of elongated bores 5 extending longitudinally, beginning .at the inner end 1 of the block and terminating inward- 25 ly of the opposite end 8 thereof.

Extending from the inner end 1 of the block is the flexible and flared sheet rubber hood 9. The caps l0 are threaded into the bores 6 where they will readily stay while the fuses II are trained out of the bores and out of the hood 9. The hood 9 at its free end is provided with .a tie strap 12 which can tie the hood against the fuses and thus prevent the caps from becoming easily displaced.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as m claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A cap carrier comprising a container of resilient material having pockets therein for re- 15 ceiving caps, said resilient body being provided with a flexible tubular hood extending outwardly therefrom and through which the fuses from caps located in the pockets can extend.

2. A cap carrier comprising a container of re- 20 silient material having pockets therein for receiving caps, said resilient body being provided with a flexible tubular hood extending outwardly therefrom and through which the fuses from caps located in the pockets can extend, and a tie mem- 25 her on the hood for tieing the said hood firmly against the fuses.
